The Darkness and the Quiet

the darkness and the quiet both wear white cowboy hats when merged it takes me back to two gallons of oreo ice cream and my early 30s things were still cheap then the music was still good i lived for that streetlight and a phone call from her convenience used to me my mistress she pulled me in with her many a unpredictable gifts the darkness and the quiet together they brought about peace and never started a riot it takes me back to galley kitchen reflections and my favorite microwave oven things were still affordable then the music was still enjoyable i lived for the smile on the face of a full moon and a phone call from her now here i am....in a pandora box time machine.... looking forward to the residence inn in the center of the time warp
